🦶 WHY YOUR FEET ARE KIND OF A BIG DEAL (AGAIN) 🦶
Part 2 of our “Your Feet Are Ruining Everything” series 😄

Let’s break down what’s really happening down there ⬇️

🏗 THE ARCH: NOT JUST A SHAPE
Your foot arch is a dynamic structure made up of:
>Muscles (like the flexor hallucis and tibialis posterior)
>Tendons & ligaments that act like cables on a suspension bridge
>A tough, fibrous band called the plantar fascia

If that arch collapses or becomes too rigid (👋 flat feet or high arches), it throws off your whole alignment. Think:
✔️ Extra tension in your Achilles
✔️ Imbalanced pull on your knees
✔️ Compensating shifts in your hips and low back

🎯 MUSCLES THAT MATTER
Many of your foot and ankle issues stem from:
>Tight calves (gastrocnemius + soleus)
>Weak intrinsic foot muscles (yes, your feet have their own little muscles!)
>Overworked shin muscles trying to stabilize your gait

🕸 THE FASCIA CONNECTION
Your plantar fascia is part of a myofascial chain that connects all the way to your back and even neck.
When it’s inflamed, stiff, or neglected, it can:
➡️ Pull on your Achilles
➡️ Affect your gait
➡️ Alter your posture
➡️ Lead to compensatory pain patterns in the knees, hips, and spine

💡 Bottom line: Don’t ignore your foundation.
Your feet might just be the hidden root of that “mystery hip pain” or “why-does-my-back-hurt-when-I-walk” situation.

👣 Come see us—we’ll assess, release, and strengthen from the ground up. Literally.

🦶**FOOTLOOSE & POSTURE-FREE? THINK AGAIN.**🦶
📸 When it looks like a thumb war, but it’s actually next-level bodywork magic.

Your feet aren’t just for pedicures and sandals—they’re your foundation, your postural GPS, and your balance command center.

👣 Tight, weak, or misaligned feet can mess with everything:
➡️ Knees that ache
➡️ Hips that shift
➡️ Backs that bark
➡️ Balance that bails

At Lorenz Total Wellness, we take foot health seriously—like, “hold your feet like we’re arm-wrestling” seriously (see photos for proof 😄).

💡 Healthy feet = better posture, less pain, and more power in how you move through life.
So if your body’s been complaining lately... maybe it’s time to look down. Way down. 👀👇

✨ Embrace the Healing of Light ✨
What if your body could recover faster, feel lighter, and function better—just by tapping into the power of light?

At Lorenz Total Wellness, we use Polychromatic Light Therapy (PLT) to support healing deep within your tissues using red, infrared, and blue wavelengths. 💡 Each color penetrates at a different depth—reducing pain, improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and energizing your cells from the inside out.

💆‍♀️ Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply need a reset, PLT can make a noticeable difference—especially when paired with hands-on therapies like stretch work, microcurrent, TECAR, and bodywork.

💥 Synergy matters. That’s why we combine powerful tools tailored just for you.

📅 Ready to experience light therapy for yourself?
✨ Book a session or DM us to see how it can fit into your care plan.

Crunches don’t build core stability — but these do.

Your deep core muscles aren’t meant to flex — they’re meant to stabilize.
They keep your spine neutral, your pelvis centered, and your breath supported.

That means if you want better posture, less tension, and more control…
you need to train from the inside out.

🎯 Try these 3 moves from

Heel Slides
Gently activates your lower core while keeping pelvis stable
→ Breathe through the movement
→ Keep hips anchored to the floor

Toe Taps
Wake up your transversus abdominis + pelvic floor
→ Keep knees bent at 90°
→ Exhale as you lower each leg

Dead Bug (controlled)
Full-body coordination with deep core bracing
→ Opposite arm/leg reach
→ Spine stays neutral the entire time

💡 Coaching tip:
👉 Move slow.
👉 Exhale with effort.
👉 Focus on control, not speed.

This is how you build a core that functions, not just flexes.

Your deep core isn’t for crunches — it’s for control.

When people talk about “core,” they usually picture 6-pack abs.
But the real MVPs of movement and posture live deeper — wrapping around your spine and pelvis like a corset.

Meet the core stabilizers:

🌀 External & Internal Obliques
→ Manage rotation + lateral tilt
→ Support your ribs and spine
→ Help transfer force between upper and lower body

🎯 Transversus Abdominis (TrA)
→ Deepest layer of core muscles
→ Acts like a brace for your spine
→ Connects to your pelvic floor and diaphragm

⚠️ If these are weak or inactive, you’ll feel:

Wobbly hips or ribs
Overuse in your low back
Poor balance or breath connection
Difficulty holding neutral posture

You don’t need more sit-ups — you need more intentional stability.

Glute + Hamstring Reset: Stretch, Activate, Align.
Your pelvis doesn’t move well when your backline is locked down — or asleep.

If your glutes are underactive and your hamstrings are overworking, your hips can’t stabilize or extend properly. The result?
→ Pelvic tilt
→ Low back stress
→ Compensatory tightness you feel daily

Let’s fix that ⬇️

🧠 Step 1: Lengthen your hamstrings
📷 See the visual from
Choose 2–3 of these effective hamstring stretches:
✔️ Forward bend
✔️ Lunge stretch
✔️ Single leg forward reach
→ Each for 30 seconds per leg

More options: SnackingInSneakers.com Hamstring Exercises

🔥 Step 2: Activate your glutes
📷 Follow the graphic from
Try moves like:
✔️ Clamshells
✔️ Glute bridges
✔️ Donkey kicks
✔️ Fire hydrants
✔️ 1-leg bridges

Need a stretch first? Check out: BoxLifeMagazine.com Glute Stretches

💡 Pro Tip:
Stretch → Activate → Move
That’s how we reset patterns and reinforce pelvic support.

Glutes and hamstrings don’t just help you walk or lift — they help you stabilize and align.

Together, these muscles form the posterior chain — the backline of strength that keeps your pelvis balanced and your spine supported.

But when they’re:

Underactive (glutes), or

Overcompensating (hamstrings)...

👉 You end up with misalignment, compensation, and chronic tension that stretching alone can’t fix.

🧠 Why this matters for pelvic posture:
Your glutes control hip extension, balance your pelvis, and support core strength.
Your hamstrings connect your pelvis to your knees and help regulate posterior tilt.
When one is off, the other takes over — and the body gets stuck in dysfunctional patterns.

This postural seesaw can lead to:

“Tight” hamstrings that won’t let go

Glutes that don’t activate when they should

Low back or SI joint discomfort

A pelvis that feels off-center

Your next best step?
Start learning how to bring these muscles back into balance — not just by stretching, but by reconnecting strength and stability.
